From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm receving false application crash reports on Fedora 41. It's happened since day 1 with Spotify and now with Half-Life. "Sorry this application has crashed..." even though i'm still using them with no problems whatsoever. This morning happened again as soon as i booted up my pc with hl_linux even though i uninstalled the game after finishing it.

It could be that the process forked and crashed, which is why you got the notification, but that it kept working. It might also be a delayed notification?

I saw something similar happen on my partners Ubuntu with Zoom "crashing" multiple times while working. Didn't dig to the bottom of it, the notifications eventually stopped after some reboots.
